CareerJared Crick had one of the most productive careers in Nebraska football history cut short in 2011, when he suffered a season-ending injury in the sixth game of his senior campaign. The torn pectoral muscle sidelined him for the rest of the 2011 season, but Crick stayed an important part of the team by playing a leadership role from the sidelines for a young defensive line.

Although he was not able to finish his senior season on the field, Crick left a lasting mark on the Hsuker football program. He made 22 tackles in 2011, including three tackles for loss and a sack, pushing his career totals to 167 career tackles, 35 tackles for loss and 20 sacks.
